An extension to this limited time request...would it be something to allow each racer the option to not participate in a race? For example, if I'm going on vacation and don't want to have my team race and break their cars, atrophy stats, use up days on their contracts, etc.. I'd love to be able to say for my own team, independant of league delays that I'd like to not race for the next 4 days or 7 days or whatever amount of time. I shouldn't have to leave a league to freeze my team in time which is the only option I see right now.
This is easily accomplished by withdrawing temporarily from the league, but I don't see an actual feature for holidays etc as in many cases people don't return, which this can be used to abuse the system.
And if someone decides to jump in and take your place in the league? That's not a good solution I'm afraid. Being able to take a leave of absence, perhaps in game showing as a rest period, vacation period, healthy scratch or whatever wording you'd like, would be a nice addition as long as it has restrictions such as a max of half a season of races. The abuse you're mentioning is an entirely different problem, inactivity and is supposed to be regulated by the league hosts. This is such a widespread problem already that I'd expect it should be addressed also, perhaps in hosts being required to show activity in their own leagues at least at the start and end of each season, otherwise the league is shut down and all teams are released. Anyway, this is getting away from the point of the post and topic at hand which is vacation/holiday leave.
